The proposal to ban the AfD is facing significant opposition and skepticism. Alexander Dobrindt of the CSU strongly opposes the motion, labeling it as 'wrong and counterproductive.' He believes that banning the AfD would only fuel the party's narrative of victimization and potentially increase its support.
Similarly, SPD leader Esken advocates for gathering substantial evidence against the AfD rather than rushing into a ban, emphasizing the importance of addressing the party's extremist tendencies through legal and political means. Critics argue that a ban could inadvertently lead to greater solidarity with the AfD among voters, further complicating the political landscape.
Thüringens Ministerpräsident Bodo Ramelow shares this concern, highlighting the legal challenges and the need for concrete evidence. The debate underscores the complexities of addressing the AfD's influence in German politics through legislative measures.
